| // |
| // |
| // This is an enhanced version of the basic strlen. it includes a combination |
| // of compute zero index (czx), parallel comparisons, speculative loads and |
| // loop unroll using rotating registers. |
| // |
| // General Ideas about the algorithm: |
| // The goal is to look at the string in chunks of 8 bytes. |
| // so we need to do a few extra checks at the beginning because the |
| // string may not be 8-byte aligned. In this case we load the 8byte |
| // quantity which includes the start of the string and mask the unused |
| // bytes with 0xff to avoid confusing czx. |
| // We use speculative loads and software pipelining to hide memory |
| // latency and do read ahead safely. This way we defer any exception. |
| // |
| // Because we don't want the kernel to be relying on particular |
| // settings of the DCR register, we provide recovery code in case |
| // speculation fails. The recovery code is going to "redo" the work using |
| // only normal loads. If we still get a fault then we generate a |
| // kernel panic. Otherwise we return the strlen as usual. |
| // |
| // The fact that speculation may fail can be caused, for instance, by |
| // the DCR.dm bit being set. In this case TLB misses are deferred, i.e., |
| // a NaT bit will be set if the translation is not present. The normal |
| // load, on the other hand, will cause the translation to be inserted |
| // if the mapping exists. |
| // |
| // It should be noted that we execute recovery code only when we need |
| // to use the data that has been speculatively loaded: we don't execute |
| // recovery code on pure read ahead data. |
| // |
| // Remarks: |
| // - the cmp r0,r0 is used as a fast way to initialize a predicate |
| // register to 1. This is required to make sure that we get the parallel |
| // compare correct. |
| // |
| // - we don't use the epilogue counter to exit the loop but we need to set |
| // it to zero beforehand. |
| // |
| // - after the loop we must test for Nat values because neither the |
| // czx nor cmp instruction raise a NaT consumption fault. We must be |
| // careful not to look too far for a Nat for which we don't care. |
| // For instance we don't need to look at a NaT in val2 if the zero byte |
| // was in val1. |
| // |
| // - Clearly performance tuning is required. |
